Week of December 2-6, 2019

Weekly Newsletter for December 2-6, 2019

          This week, we will begin our new story, “A Big Fish for Max!”  Throughout this story, we will discuss things that families do together.  Our reading strategy will be sequencing.  The high frequency words for this story are:  said, want, good, catch, no, and put. 

          Our focus phonics skills are digraphs –sh and –th and the vowel sound in ball, a, al.  Our spelling words are: fish, then, shut, with, rush, shell, shop, trash, thin and ship.  Our challenge words are “want” and “good.” 

          In Math, we will continue to work on solving doubles facts.  We will also begin adding three digits together to find the sum! 

December Scholastic Book order forms were sent home last week!  You may order online using our class code: MJJ8J or you may send in your book order with a check (Scholastic INC.).  All Scholastic Book orders are due by Monday, December 9^th.   

December Reading Logs will be sent home in your child’s B.E.E. Folder today!  The decodable readers and phonics stories are great practice for your child!  Not only does it reinforce the phonics skill we are working on, but it builds their reading fluency!  If your child reads the story two times, please write it on your reading log!
